EL MONTE - A vigil will be held Monday for an El Monte High School student who was killed in a bus crash in Northern California last week.

The vigil for Adrian Castro is scheduled for 7 p.m. at the school’s quad area ,which is in front of the library, according to school officials.

El Monte High School is located at 3048 N. Tyler Ave.

Castro, a senior, was among the 10 people killed when a Fedex truck collided with a bus in Orland on Thursday. The bus was carrying high school students who were going to visit Humboldt State University.

El Monte coach Joel Sanchez said football teams from South El Monte, Gabrielino, Mountain View, Rosemead and Arroyo - who all compete against El Monte in the Mission Valley League - will wear their high school jerseys in honor of Castro, along with El Monte’s football team.
